What's new: The Singapore singer said an LDL reading of 252 led to lifelong medication and a strict no-processed-food diet.
Singapore singer-actor Benjamin Kheng pushed back on rumors that weight-loss drugs caused his slimmer appearance, saying his weight changed after a serious cholesterol scare and marathon training. In a TikTok video posted on June 8, Kheng said he runs 60 kilometers a week and follows a strict diet with no processed food. He said a high LDL cholesterol reading of 252 last year prompted the changes and put him on lifelong medication. Kheng also said he would not recommend weight-loss drugs to others, urging people instead to exercise and focus on health.
